Okay then, let's see... He definitely came to Berlin during difficult times. You've probably heard this story before, a club gets a rich investor, buys a bunch of overpriced but ill-fitting piece

That’s funny, because Steve Waggott told me the following: ”It’s not all about the money with Ryan. There are other factors - his academy in Namibia is very important to him.” This was a few

Extremely short term thinking by Rothwell here, if true of course. Perhaps it's his agent and his missus in his ear, or maybe he is fed up with not getting a pay rise. If he does go it would be tremendous to see us go up and him remain in the Championship with those clowns.

Long term if he does leave, just wondering if People think Buckley could eventually drop back abit and play in Rothwells role? Not personally seen much off buckley play live, still seems pretty lite weight but if he fills out and toughens up a bit more maybe...? And Dack could eventually regain his place behind the forwards (if he can stay fit and still play close to his past ability)

We would be wise holding on to Rothwell with the current form he is on, he's having his best season in a Rovers shirt so far. Some of his dazzling runs have been fantastic, pity he can't finish one off with a goal,

Alongside a Travis I definitely think so.

Agreed. Hopefully this hasn't messed with his head and he continues to play as well as he has been. Ultimately that's probably what Bournemouth are thinking, even if they don't get him they put off one of our best performers

These are the commercial realities of Joe Rothwell’s situation.

1)      Joe’s transfer value if he was on a 4 year contract would be around £7-10m, on the current remaining 6 months he’s probably worth around £4m at best.

2)      Joe is solely responsible for his position, we like to blame agents – but the reality is that it’s Joe’s decision whether he wants to sign or leave, that decision is up to him. He is not a victim.

3)      Joe is not injured, neither was he last week. The club take the ‘injury explanation’ route simply to placate the fans and allow the player a way back to play for the club should he not move on. A true explanation “that Joe doesn’t want to play because he wants to sign a lucrative new contract with another club” wouldn’t particularly go down well, the injury explanation suits both parties for this period.

4)      So what’s the tension? Well, the reality is Joe is on the verge of becoming a multi-millionaire with a new contract, and he is trying to squeeze every pip to maximize his commercial position. Run down his contract, and effectively that £4-£6 transfer fee gets converted into a signing on fee, or over inflated salary (not dissimilar to Aaron Ramsey and many other footballers)

5)      The stakes are high though, because if he stays and sees out his contract, and then gets injured – that millionaire dream could quite easily slip away. So the reality is he doesn’t want to play – given that lack of security. Of course, he could sign with Rovers for security and then move on, but it’s because he’s choosing to 100% maximize his transfer value, that this standoff situation develops with club – some would argue that’s he’s being greedy.

6)      But this is not good for the club either, because their leverage is close to zero, if the player claims injury and refuses to play then there is very little they can do.

7)      Conclusion, sadly for us fans, I suspect the club will have little choice, but to sell Joe Rothwell in January. Hopefully as the club matures and grows (and lets aspire to being a Brentford) – the club will learn much from this period.

Apologies for the depressing read, but these are the commercials realities – for record I hope Joe stays, and I am wrong!

Or Rothwell might really be injured.

I don’t think he’s injured either. ‘Back spasms’, ‘calf strains’, par for the course for these lines to be trotted out by a club when a player has had his head turned in a transfer window…

Someone, who spoke to him after the Monday game reported that he had a knee injury....
